The solution to global warming, then, is clearly to just set up a massive ring of fans all pointed in the same direction in a ring around the North Pole, to keep the jet stream going

Near-infinite access to pretty much any information you can possibly dream of, content, questions, etc, on a little device in your pocket

I’m gonna be honest, as someone who couldn’t give less of a crap what happens to Twitter, it’s just hilarious at this point. This is the kind of dumpster fire that warms your hands when it’s really cold out, so you just keep coming back to look at it.

Doesn’t provide enough power for the cost of the cells, plus having to clean and upkeep them. And the more material you cover them with (to protect them; solar cells are INCREDIBLY fragile), the less efficient they are. I was on a solar car team in college and the cells are so fragile that to clean them, we had to use new microfiber cloths every time. Any dust would scratch and ruin them (which made it quite tough when I drove across the outback in the thing). We kept our cells completely uncovered because we needed maximum efficiency - but even with a super light carbon fiber solar car that’s got very minimal tire contact patches, specialized tires from Bridgestone, and a very aerodynamic shape (plus no amenities like A/C), I think our car could sustain something like 10-15 km/h on a perfectly sunny day in the middle of the outback. It just doesn’t add enough on a huge, heavy EV

Yes! The other comments are incorrect. This is a condition known as reversion. These trees are actually a mutation of a typical conifer, known aptly as a “dwarf conifer”. Mutations are oftentimes unstable, and can revert back to their original form - that’s what has happened to this tree. One of the branches (or multiple, potentially) have reverted and it’s actually growing a normal-size conifer on those branches now. Kinda neat! But can also be very bad for the tree.

Similar things can happen with variegation in leaves (reversion, that is).

Fuck me, I own a Mazda and had a mini heart attack before seeing the community name

Shitty k8s cluster/space heater?

How pedantic do we get to be? Like, I’d be fine with flying because I could just hover a millimeter from the ground instead of standing, I would think

What a world we live in where you need a /s on comments like this, lmao

Obviously you change your tires by cutting at the axle instead… rookie mistake.

Pro tip, if you’ve not found it already - there’s a package for gimp called “photogimp” that makes it use the photoshop interface instead of- it makes it so much easier to use! Highly recommend.

What are you, an engineer engineer?

Is the camera man an NPC? I’m not gonna just stand two feet away as soon as hundreds of tons of steel starts shifting weight…

After dating for six and a half years, that’s nuts!

…absolutely, positively, super false. I work in a sector where we’re constantly dealing with huge capacity enterprise SSDs - 15 and 30 terabytes at times. Always using RAID. It’s not even a question. Not only can you have controller malfunctions, but even though you’ve got what’s known as “over provisioning” on the SSDs, you still need to watch out for total disk failures!

But we need to know what it taught him about B2B sales!

“Traveling, not driving” …that’s not how cars work

Fun fact: you can’t lock your credit through Innovis if the name on your phone number isn’t the same as your real name (for instance, I’m on my mother’s phone plan - I still have my own number, but I guess it’s under her name). I ran into this issue literally four days ago :/
